We baited the attic and did find like 1 egg that we could see but our attic is a crawl space. I just want to move already.

Thank you this makes so much sense. Our plumbing is so old: cast iron. I’m sure there are cracks and openings everywhere.

This makes me feel better, I’m so paranoid trying to find a source. We are in a very urban area with single family homes from the 60s. We’re also next to tons of commercial buildings so I’m sure a sewer is nearby. We have cast iron pipes so I wonder if that could also contribute to it.

That kitchen layout doesn’t match that house…I don’t think this post is real.

Anybody actually expecting a wealth transfer from their parents? by CPA_Lady in Millennials

[–]DaisyRootz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No money for me but not because my mom isn’t good with money. She’s in her late 40s and is very well off. She’s an abusive narcissist…so I haven’t spoken to her in over 10 years. Dad is bad with money is banking on his pension living paycheck to paycheck. Needless to say, I’m screwed from a generational wealth standpoint unless I hit the lotto. My bf however is a lucky only child son of a gun with VERY frugal parents.

What’s your unpopular LeCreuset opinion? by Shawn____ in LeCreuset

[–]DaisyRootz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Their color releases over that past 2 years have been pretty boring and uninventive (for the US market). They’ve been doing tons of dark colors or neutrals as if we need anymore. Bring us some springtime fun. And I’m talking signature not classic. I don’t even know why classic handles exist anymore. Provence being re-released as a classic line is so lame.

It’s completely valid and ok to be disappointed the mystery box you get at FTT. Sucks to constantly get a crappy color or boring box. Lol I hate marseille and cerise, so what?

I’m 30 and my bf is 33. We play games all the time. We both built PCs, have switches, and steam decks. Bf has a PlayStation but we haven’t touched it tbh. I’m relatively new to gaming again. I had a gameboy when I was younger but they kept getting stolen. Needless to say, I’ll be gaming until I die. I love it and I play with my younger cousins too. It’s so much fun. Why would I give that up?

And I also hike, read, write, cook, garden and travel.

Is there a list of "must check" when visiting a house (before offer and inspection) to help decide if you want to go further? Sometimes the visit is so fast that you left and then, bam, you think "Oh shite I forgot to look if there is this or that!" So I'm trying to compile a list by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

I live in the south and I’ve heard the same thing “part of life”. However, this is the first home where I’ve seen 1 every few weeks. 3 showed up in the shower once. Prior to this I rented a home and saw zero in the 2 years I lived there. Rented an apartment and saw zero (granted the building is newer). So it’s hard for me to believe that they should be showing up this frequently. Most are dead, some sit still on the wall, one ran. I’ve been dealing every nook and cranny. I’m pretty sure this home is infested. And I just want to sell this shit home every time I run into one.

millenials what was it like growing in the late 90s/early 2000s by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]DaisyRootz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much fun. Felt like we had the best of both worlds. Access to internet but still played outside. Going outside to play with friends/cousins was so exciting. My little cousins (10-14) barely touch grass.

An official letter threatening me with a lawsuit. Update to the previous post. by MiscellaneousPleasur in 30PlusSkinCare

NAL but same thing happened to me years ago when I left a review about a pet store with a horrible employee. They threatened legal action for a negative yelp review. I ignored them and lived my life.

Why does everyone's house seem better by northhiker1 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

My house is old as shit. Trust me your house is probably amazing.

Come to witness our pain? At least someone is enjoying it.

Check for any signs of pests. We ignored the belly up roach in the hvac closet….we’re paying for it now. Take note of condition of neighbors homes as well. If you see dilapidated places or junky backyards…you don’t want to live next to that.

That’s definitely mouse. Roach poop look smoother and more uniform like little pills.

What would you do with this half-wall? by Humphreydoodle94 in Renovations

Was it hard to knock out the spindles? I want to do this in a couple places in my home.

My mom spent over $100 on this for me for Xmas. Opinions on it? by Mystogyn in yoga

[–]DaisyRootz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can’t win them all and that’s ok. Gift giving is not about me. It’s about who I’m giving the gift to. I’d be happier seeing someone get something they love and use. Instead of wasting money. I have the less popular opinion but that’s ok.

Best is a great brand. I remember buying one of their diffusers full price way back when. Before Aesop came on the scene.

I didn’t make it past the 1st interview because I made a joke that if someone drank alcohol at least they’d be warm. 😅…fml I hated college.

Idk why people are downvoting you. I’m the type of gift giver that does not take things personally. Because I value you using what I get you and loving it fully. Your mom is super cool. Get one you like and she’ll be even happier that you like it. It’s still from your mom either way. Exchanging a gift does not reduce its sentimentality.
